Ruby Red Stone

"So what are you doing here?"

Kunot noong tanong ko kay Lucas saka pumwesto sa tapat ng kinauupuan niya.

"Para magkape?"

I rolled my eyes on him then glanced at Reyanne's direction who is currently busy infront of her laptop. She ordered a cup of coffee and a mocha cake here at my cafe.

"Want me to talk to her?"

Ngisi ko, nanlaki ang mata nitong sunod sunod na umiling, kalaunan ay may inilabas na maliit na salamin para ayusin ang buhok niya, Natawa nalang akong bumalik na sa counter.

"What's with Lucas?"

Tanong ni Celestine na tinutulungan ako ngayon rito sa cafe dahil wala itong ibang magawang matino sa buhay.

"Same and Insane as usual."

Simpleng sagot kong umiling nalamang.

"Hey..."

Bati ng pamilyar na boses na kapapasok lamang sa entrance, It's Rhia with two other mens on her back.

"Hi Rhia, Chase and... Christian?"

Ngiti ko nang makita ang tatlo, Madalas si Rhia at Chase rito since they're siblings, not actually siblings, at halos tambayan na nila.

"You know him?"

Chase asked making me shrug.

"Not that long, I met him at an Island last week when I got lost, I also think he owns it. Tapos ayun nafall siya sakin nun."

Tawa kong nagpangisi rito.

"Is that why you asked Leroy to bring your yacht? Even you're not done with your so called vacation yet?"

Chase asked him grinning.

"No, Matteo asked me a favor that time, plus I got bored being alone on that Island."

Masungit na sabi nito habang nakatingin sa gawi ko na para bang nagpapaliwanag.

"I thought you're done doing him a favor?"

Pang aasar pa ni Chase, Lucien glared at him.

"Anyways go order something to eat or whatsoever sayang kita ko."

Irap ko sakanila.

"Your twins just got out of the hospital, those people who were targeting the three of you for unknown reason are still out there probably waiting and you're here like it's not bothering you at all, seriously? Hihintayin mo pang magaya ka sa mga kapatid mo?"

Kunot noong sambit nito nang maiwan kami nina Chase at Scarlet na kasalukuyan nagtungo na sa usual spot nila, I grinned at him.

"Yeeii... concern siya oh."

Ngisi ko, Lucien gave me a blank expression.

"I'm just warning you, That Mafia is also my org--- I mean that mafia might be really dangerous, what if---"

I cutted his sentence by puting my fingers on his lips then leaned my face closer to him with a silly smile on my face, sinadya ko ring yumukod dahilan para bumaba ang mata nito roon, his eyes widened as his eyes imidiately went up. That made me chuckle, I even saw his adams apple went up and down, Kahit kailan talaga tanga tanga.

"Did you see what I did to Matteo yesterday? or do I have to repeat it to you just so you could understand how well I could handle myself?"

I asked while staring straight on his eyes, ngumiti ako ng pagkatamis tamis saka inilayo na ang muka sakaniya.

"I have my freedom and not even those bastards could stop me, saka sayang yung kikitain ko rito."

Hagikhik ko saka muling pumangalumbaba.

"Now may I take your order sir?"

I asked him sweetly, I saw his jaw moved, he didn't shave and he looks so hot with it.

"Do your uniform really have to be like that?"

Kunot noong muling tanong niya, I rolled my eyes on him.

"Sa pagkakaalala ko nasa cafe ko tayo, Wala tayo sa Tonight with boy abunda, so just order anything you want because I still have lots of things to do."

Malambing parin ang boses na sabi ko, sumeryoso ang muka nitong nakatuon parin ang atensiyon sa naka expose kong cleavage, I made sure he can see my red lacey D-cup bra na galing pang Victoria's secret. Not that I am planning something, since I really have nothing to do with the king of haven org. I am simply having fun teasing him, pagbigyan niyo na kalandian ko.

"Hoy ang tagal mo umorder gutom na kami!"

Sigaw ni Chase mula sa kinaroroonan nila, I rolled my eyes on them.

"Wag kayong sumigaw! Nakakaabala kayo ng costumers!Baka akalaing palengke to!"

Sigaw ko pabalik saka muling ibinaling ang tingin kay Lucien at matamis itong nginitian.

"Sorry about that... May I take your order sir?"

Malambing na sabi ko, Lucien sighed as he ordered their food. Bahagya pang nangunot ang noo ko nang magbayad ito ay may kasama pang calling card.

"Here's my number, call me if you need something or whatsoever."

Sambit niya saka mabilisang kinuha ang order niya at nagmadaling nagtungo sa table nila. Napailing nalamang ako, I didn't expect ageng Lucifer is that weird. Ang alam ko lang kasi ay bukod sa muka siyang masarap ay masarap siyang asarin.

Anyways... nasabi ko na bang muka siyang masarap? Tapos ang tamboy ng pwet niya, parang masarap ipaddle ganorn, napangiti ako sa naiiisip.

"Malandi ka."

Sambit ni Violet saka kinurot pa ako sa tagiliran na nagpahagikhik saakin.

"Tigang ka noh? nilulumot na siguro kweba mo? Akala ko ba ayaw mong magaya kay Saph at Ems?"

Kunot noong tanong nito, I rolled my eyes on her.

"Who says I'd ever let that happen? I know my fucking limits bitch, landian lang, ang mahulig talo."

Irap ko, umirap lang din ito pabalik.

"Bahala ka, baliw."

I stucked out my tongue and showed it to her, Celestine raised her middle finger, na bahagyang nagpatawa saakin.

Lucien Cross San Diego

Mariin akong napapikit nang makalabas kami ng cafe at makasakay ng Van, we were waiting for chase while he's on the toilet.

"So ahm... since when are you friends with Ruby?"

I suddenly asked Rhia since I've been itching to ask her and chase earlier, pero baka asarin lang ako ng gagong si chase.

"we've been friends for about 8 or 9 years I guess? I met her ahmm at her bar.. why do you ask?"

I shooked my head on her.

"I'm just curious that's all, so ahmm can you tell me more about her? Because I'm curious, no other meaning behind it."

I said making her grin.

"Well she likes bitching around, flirting, giving everyone a bad day, a protective sister, parang nanay, tatay, ate at kuya na siya at the same time best friend na siya ng mga kakambal niya, same with us and her other close friends. She might be playful and such, Kung hindi mo kilala eh maiisip mong kababaeng tao siga at sira ulo, but that woman is really admireable. She never gives up and never gets tired to stood up for others, she never hesitates and never regret anything instead she learns from it. She's a fighter, Sorry if ever nadadamay ka man sa mga kagaguhan ng babaeng yun, but that's the way she is, she's easy going and don't really mimd what will other people say to her.

She maybe irritating and could piss you off all the time, but she's really refreshing to be with, Mang aasar lang yan, mag bibitaw ng masasakit na salita, it's easy to befriend her but hard to get in her heart, but once you managed to touch her soft spot... she will stay. She's true to herself and other people, She knows what she wants and respect herself and others. She hates being trapped and she's sometimes sensitive, minsan di mo magegets kung ano bang trip niya sa buhay but she's really a great friend."

Bgiting kwento nitong nagpatango tango saakin.

"Ahmm... how about boys? May boyfriend ba siya? Husband? suitor? or someone she likes? What is her ideal type?"

I asked, saglit itong natigilan.

"Why aee you asking me that kind of stuffs anyways? Do you like Ruby? Well Christian I'm warning you... It will be a very rough road if you do."

Tawa nito, sakto namang dumating na si chase kaya naman ay natahimik na ako. I'm going to meet up with my dad after this so I have to hurry, why did I even came here with this two? Marami pa akong kailangang gawin... But then when I heard Ruby's name earlier, Without thinking, I just came along.

I sighed harshly saka sumabay na sa dalawang to, Bumalik kami sa ospital para kunin ang sasakyan ko.

"I'll go ahead, I still have to meet my dad."

Paalam ko saka sumakay na sa sasakyang dala ko at ipinaharurot ito patungo sa kinaroroonan ng ama ko. He is the retired King of Haven org. Ako ang pumalit sakanya 9 years ago para ipagpatuloy ang naumpisahan niya. And looks like we have something important to talk to.

The servants greeted me when I arrived on our old mansion.

"Where's my dad?"

I asked my dad's personal buttler, He politely bowed his head first as he answered my question.

"He's waiting for you at the conference room Master Cross."

He uttered, tumango akong nagtungo sa itaas kung saan naroroon ang nasabing conference room.

"Hey Dad."

Bati kong nagpangiti rito, ngumiti rin ako pabalik saka umupo sa tapat ng kinauupuan niya.

"Why did you call me here?"

I asked,sumeryoso itong napabuntong hiningang mai iniabot saaking brown envelope, Bagama't nagtataka ay binuksan ko iyon para makita ang laman, and I was surprise to see what's inside.

"Her Name is Ruby Stone... I want you to protect her."

A/n: Ohkeeeyyy akala ko talaga di ako makakapag update ngayon haha kakatik tok mo yan drei 😂
